Hello! I just recently found this site and it rocks big time! These mini lessons are fantastic and I am looking forward to learning some so I can make some new patterns and textures. Thanks so much for doing this!

I ususally just use the kits and papers the way I get them....but after watching this, I'm so excited to try it. I just went on a 4 day scrap trip with friends....and did my whole 2012 book. I will have to go back now and edit some of my papers to "jazz" them up a bit. Can you do this on a photo too? I use a lot of full 12x12 photos for my pages in my books.

I knew the basic adding a clipping mask and setting it to overlay...but I had no idea that you could add textures anywhere else nor did I think of recoloring the texture layer to match the paper. Thanks so much for the tutorial!!

Wow! It is a lot easier to do this than I thought! Can't wait to start learning lots of new things. I've been using Photoshop for almost 7 years now and I still keep learning. It is simply amazing what it can do! I feel I'll never stop learning. Thanks for all the great toturials; they really help!!

Your tutorials are all so fabulous Marisa! Thank you so much for sharing all your tips. Need to ask some beginner questions on this video: Would you be able to explain in more depth what you did (and why) with the 2nd & third textures. Why do you lock layers? At one point you said that you were turning something into a clipping mask?? You did a bunch of things really fast and even by watching and re-watching, I can't figure out what you did. Thanks in advance!
